London-headquartered HSBC has hired a former Banco Santander executive to oversee its wealth business outside of Asia.
HSBC has appointed Victor Matarranz as head of international wealth and premier banking (IWPB), Americas and Europe, according to a statement, effective October 1. In the role, he will be responsible for expanding the bank’s wealth businesses across the two regions, including the US, Mexico and Channel Islands and Isle of Man, and unlocking new opportunities in key global corridors.
